Chapter 2164: Opening the Treasure
As appears on the surface, there are no traps in this secret passage that extends eastward. Lazy people listen to books
It went very well, and Ye Tian and Walker soon came to the dusty ancient stone door.
After standing in front of the stone door, Ye Tian did not immediately reach out to push the stone door, but pretended to carefully check the stone door, as well as the ground in front of the door, the walls on both sides, and the vault.
Although this granite door is covered with dust and moss, it can still be clearly seen that in the center of the stone door, a huge horse and other cross is carved.
At the bottom of the cross is carved a double horse symbol, a symbol of brotherhood and evidence of homosexuality by Christians.
To Ye Tian, these were all too familiar, and they had seen them many times before.
The motif of the other crosses and the double single horse is well known as the emblem of the Knights Templar.
Ye Tian didn't wipe the dust and moss on the stone door with his hands, he carefully looked at the two patterns engraved on the stone door, and then said with a smile:
"It seems that we are not mistaken, Walker, this secret passage hidden deep underground in the Temple Palace, and the secret room behind this stone door, are indeed the work of the Templar Order.
I just don't know if the secret room behind this stone door is hidden by the Knights Templar's treasure, or if it is a treasure looted by Hitle from various European countries."
"Whatever treasure is hidden behind the stone gate, I believe it will be a great discovery that will definitely cause a huge sensation, it is truly a perfect day to remember!"
Walker continued, his voice trembling with excitement, and his whole body was about to fly.
"Yes, it was a perfect day, but I wanted it to be even more perfect and to have a bigger surprise"
Ye Tian said with a smile and nodded, then turned his head to look at the wall on the right.
On the wall to the right of the stone door, there is a niche about fifty or sixty centimeters high, in which is placed a crucifix, the statue is covered with dust, but the outline is clear.
Just when Ye Tian admired this marble statue, the outside world was completely boiling.
Looking at the content presented on the live broadcast screen, the square in front of the temple palace, as well as the surrounding area, as well as countless live broadcast terminals, immediately set off a commotion.
"Wow! This secret passage was indeed built by the Knights Templar, but I don't know if the famous Knights Templar are behind this stone door?
Will those legendary and long-lost Christian relics, such as the Holy Grail, appear before our eyes later?
"Miracles can happen, and don't forget, Steven is a very amazing guy, and he is very lucky, and he can always do incredible miracles, and today is no exception.
If the Knights Templar's treasures and legendary Christian relics were hidden behind this stone door, there is no doubt that this discovery would go down in history."
While people were talking, in the Vatican, in Germany, in the United States, and in many other parts of the world, many people had already stood up, staring at the live broadcast with round eyes one by one, staring closely at the live broadcast screen, and their eyes were extremely hot.
In particular, many of the monks dressed in Christian attire had even red eyes, and their eyes flashed with crazy colors, and they kept drawing crosses on their chests and whispering prayers.
There are also countless devout Christians, all behaving the same, everyone whispering prayers, everyone staring at the live broadcast with bright eyes, staring at the ancient stone door.
And Ye Tian, who was in the underground secret passage, was still unhurried, pretending to carefully check the stone door in front of him and the situation in the secret passage.
After inspecting the place thoroughly, he looked again at a bronze candlestick on the wall to the left of the stone door, and said with a smile:
"As expected, that bronze candelabra is the mechanism that controls this stone door, Walker, you scan this stone door with a pulsed metal detector to see what is going on behind the stone door, and then we can open the stone door again"
"Okay, Steven"
Walker answered, and then stepped forward with a pulsed metal detector and began to probe.
He had just lifted the probe of the metal detector, and before he could touch the stone door, the sound of the metal detector rang out, resounding throughout the secret passage.
As the scan began, Walker's excited voice rang out.
"Steven, there is a large pile of metal objects piled up behind this stone door, and there are very many of them, and they are very close to the stone door, and you can see it as soon as you open the stone door.
Metal signals can also be detected on the wall to the left of the stone gate, and judging from the shape of those metal objects, it should be the mechanism that controls the stone door,......
Soon, Walker had finished scanning the stone door, as well as the walls on either side of it.
After symbolically understanding the general situation, Ye Tian first pondered for a moment, then picked up the heavy police shield and came to the wall on the left side of the stone gate.
Then he raised the heavy shield with his right hand and stood in front of him, and with his left hand he stretched out his hand to grasp the bronze candlestick embedded in the wall, and said in a deep voice:
"Walker, I'm going to try to open this stone door, you step back a little and stand behind me, just in case, in the secret room behind this stone door, there will be traps if you can't keep it all"
"Okay, Steven"
Walker answered, and then flashed behind Ye Tian.
In the next moment, Ye Tian's left hand began to exert force, trying to turn the bronze candlestick embedded in the wall.
As he expected, the bronze candlestick and the wall, although it appeared that there were no gaps, was actually turnable, but it was a little difficult.
There is no doubt that this bronze candlestick is the mechanism that controls the stone door, and it is very cleverly designed.
After tentatively turning the bronze candlestick a few times, Ye Tian found a way to open it, and then continued to exert force, and began to rotate the bronze candlestick in a clockwise direction.
"Click......"
Suddenly, there was an unusually harsh sound of metal rubbing in the secret passage, which made people's scalps tingle and goosebumps all over their bodies.
But to Ye Tian's ears, this piercing noise was like a heavenly sound, extremely beautiful and intoxicating.
With a piercing grinding sound, the long-dusty stone door finally moved, and the dust attached to the stone door fell straight down with a pop.
When the bronze candlestick was rotated in a clockwise direction by Ye Tian, a straight gap about two meters high suddenly opened on the left side of the stone door where it met the wall.
At this moment, the piercing sound of metal friction suddenly disappeared from everyone's ears, and the bronze candlestick could no longer be rotated, and had been turned to the bottom by Ye Tian.
Seeing this scene, everyone understood that this ancient stone door that had been sealed for a long time had been opened, and the next thing to do was to reach out and push the stone door open.
When the stone door is opened, the secret hidden behind the stone door will be revealed.
In the secret room behind the stone door, it will be clear to everyone whether it is the treasure of the Knights Templar, or the gold and silver treasures and antiques looted by Hitle.
How big is that secret room, and whether the metal objects scanned by the pulsed metal detector are gold and silver treasures or weapons and ammunition, the answer will soon be revealed!
At the same time that the sound of metal friction disappeared, Ye Tian also let go of the bronze candlestick, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
Immediately after, he stepped forward again, pressed his free left hand on the stone door, and slowly pushed the ancient and heavy granite door open little by little.
As he moved, the gap on the left side of the stone gate became larger and larger, and a slightly foul air overflowed along the gap and quickly spread.
Fortunately, Ye Tian and Walker were wearing gas masks and protective suits, so they were not affected in any way, and Cole in the basement was also wearing full protective suits, so they didn't have to worry.
As he spoke, the gap on the left side of the stone door had expanded to about twenty centimeters, and he could already see the local situation in the secret room behind the stone door.
"Huh"
After a lapse of several decades, light has once again descended on this secret room.
As the lights entered, a huge space shrouded in darkness suddenly appeared in front of Ye Tian and Walker's eyes and appeared on the live broadcast screen.
Immediately afterwards, some crates about sixty or seventy centimeters long, stacked on top of each other, suddenly broke into everyone's field of vision.
Seeing this scene, the square in front of the temple palace and the surrounding streets on the ground, as well as countless live broadcast terminals, suddenly boiled again.
"What's in those crates? gold and silver treasures or weapons and ammunition?"
"I really want to see the Nacui logo, and those boxes are also modern products, you can see from the appearance!"
